    Steps

    Recombinant a-synuclein pre-formed fibril generation

    1.

    Reconstitute 1mg of lyophilized monomeric synuclein with 100µL cold sterile DPBS On ice (do not pipet, close tube immediately).

    2.

    Transfer tubes on wet ice to 4°C cold room and rotate on tube rotator for 0h 10m 0s.

    3.

    Centrifuge for 0h 10m 0s at 15000x g,0h 0m 0s at 4°C.

    4.

    Transfer supernatant to clean Protein-LoBind tube.

    5.

    Prepare 5µL aliquots of serial dilutions (1:10, 1:25, 1:50, 1:100) and measure concentration with Nanodrop (A280 - MW=14,5 kDa; Extinction coefficient ε for human α-syn = 5,960 M-1cm-1).

    6.

    Dilute down to final concentration of 5mg/mL, use 100µL (100µL-500µL) aliquots for reproducible results.

    7.

    Take 1µL-2µL aliquot of monomer and dilute to 1ul/ml for electron microscopy, flash-freeze in dry ice – ethanol slurry.

    8.

    Seal tubes with parafilm if no tube lock.

    9.

    Place the tube in an orbital thermomixer with a heated lid for 168h 0m 0s at 37°C, shaking at 1000rpm,0h 0m 0s.

    Note
    NOTE : At the end of the 7 days, the contents of the tube should appear turbid. The thermomixer must have a lid to prevent condensation formation on the tube lids.

    10.

    Gently flick the tube to resuspend a-syn fibrils.

    a. Fibrils for quality control steps can be stored at 37Room temperature``0h 10m 0s.

    11.

    Prepare aliquots for QC assays:

    11.1.

    a. 5µL – thioflavin T binding assay.

    11.2.

    b. 2µL for TEM.

    12.

    For long-term storage (12-18 months), flash-freeze fibrils in liquid nitrogen and store at -80°C.
